Hey Harv/RHP. . .
« on: August 10, 2008, 02:20:10 PM »
A few years ago, one of you guys (I think) posted a link to a site that had "award winning" cliche literature ("It was a dark and stormy night. . ."), and I heard it mentioned again last week, but was in the car, and didn't have a way to write it down.  Do you still have a link to that site?

Thanks!

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Man, either that's a tough crowd to impress or the submissions aren't too good! Didn't spend a lot of time there but didn't see more than one submission over two stars (Not much use)! I bookmarked it, anyway. Could be entertaining and even useful! Thanks! Good to "see" you again, also! salute.gif

Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system

This might work better than the one I posted earlier.

I used to get an email every day from the original site.  But haven't been using it for quite a while.

xabd, one of these days I'm gonna post a picture of that house.
